According to Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-online, in order to
control CPU N's hotplug state, we should write one of 'Yy1Nn0' to the file
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online, other values should be invalid. so the
buffer length should be 2, buf[0] is one of 'Yy1Nn0' and buf[1] is '\n'.

without patch:
[root@localhost home]# echo 0test > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[root@localhost home]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
0
[root@localhost home]# echo 1test > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[root@localhost home]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
1
[root@localhost home]# echo ntest > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[root@localhost home]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

[root@localhost home]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
0
[root@localhost home]# echo Ytest > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
[root@localhost home]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
1

with patch:
[root@localhost home]# echo 0test > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[root@localhost home]# echo 1test > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

[root@localhost home]# echo ntest > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[root@localhost home]# echo ytest > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[root@localhost home]# echo Ntest > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[root@localhost home]# echo Ytest > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
